The VR part of this is very rewatchable: The first experiment has you fly over an erupting volcano in VR: turn around and see the helicopter!
The VR clips are short. I guess so are the experiments but would have been cool if VR clips were longer.
There are many things you need to buy or have around the house that do not come with this kit. IE..alka-seltzer tabs, white flowers, dry yeast packet, etc.
Would be nice if a list of such items was clearly produced at the beginning you wouldnt realize it on a rainy day when you just want to play scientist with your kid.
Overall I give this 3-1/2 stars. Its cool because of VR. The experiments could be more exciting. I have owned better science kits over the years. Not bad for 40-50$
This science kit is great for all future scientists out there! I highly recommend!
